I have always been enamoured with the wild and untamed landscapes of British Columbia, but not until the past few years did I really begin to develop a deep connection with this beautiful west coast that I call home. The past decade of my life has been dedicated to international travel, to experience new cultures and places I had only seen in magazines or read about in books. As travel will always be a big part of my life, I have recently become very dedicated to taking the time to explore British Columbia and to really get to know my home.

That being said, one of my favourite things to do is to check out of ‘everyday life’ and get outside. I love to camp; to me, nothing beats sleeping under the stars. My partner and I recently did an overnight hike up part of the Juan de Fuca trail on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Here are some photographs of that amazing journey 🙂
